Composite of longwave and shortwave cloud radiative effects averaged over extratropical cyclones in the southern hemisphere. a, d JRA-55 reanalysis and CERES computed product for March 2000 to February 2015. b, e NICAM for 1979–2003. c, f NICAM for 2075–2099 minus that for 1979–2003. In addition to color scales, additional contours are added in d and f; contours show − 64 and − 72 W m−2 in d and − 4, − 5 and − 6 W m−2 in f. The concentric gray circles represent increments of 500 km from the center of extratropical cyclones. The composites are meridionally reversed, and gray straight lines indicate (clockwise from top) poleward, pole-eastward, eastward, equator-eastward, equatorward, equator-westward, westward, and pole-westward directions from the center of extratropical cyclones
